First of all, I don’t think you realize how evil Assad has been. Although in the long run, ISIS in Syria might be worse, Assad has tortured and killed even more Syrian civilians. The US should have intervened on behalf of the Free Syrian army right away and although the FSA has committed atrocities also, they are not in the same league as Assad and ISIS. Furthermore, Russia should (and falsely claimed they would) stop Assad from bombing (including chemically) civilians, but Russia has not stopped them but helped them.
I think that Obama was morally weak on Syria, he failed to do the right thing and the Syrian population is suffering because of it. Russia went ahead and deliberately did the wrong thing. Obama was shev v’al taaseh, Russia was kum v’aseh.
On Iran, that Russia has been bad for a while isn’t an excuse for them to continue to be bad. Putin is actively selling Iran missiles and nuclear tech. Russia is now allied (in the practical sense) with Iran and Assad (Assad is backed by Iran).
On Ukraine, I didn’t know that Obama was involved in the coup. I have to look into it more. Other than taking Crimea by force, what Putin done to outdo Obama.
Most importantly, from a moral perspective, Putin has made himself a dictator, he assassinates journalists and other who criticize him, and he has crackeddown on the fredom his peoplel
